New crossover so details will be explained at the end of the first chapter.
Music was a great way to start the day especially if it was your first day at a new job. Ah yes, your first job. The first sign that someone has reached the age of independency and no longer has to be living under the cold and cruel ways of mom and dad. Such was the case of Naruto Namikaze, son of Minato and Kushina both last names being Namikaze and Uzumaki.
'Well, this is a big day for me! I just hope I don't embarrass myself.' passing the doors of the galleria mall Naruto heads down past one of the major stores called the penalty box!
"Odd name for a sports store." Keeping a brisk pace Naruto just mellows into the music playing on the ear buds looking at the many people going about their business, enjoying the day blowing their hard-earned money on merchandise that they'll only use a few times in their life, and the destruction drones that are, yes, his generation: Teens.
"Ok let's see… I think it was called… Wise Cracks?" standing outside of the door of the store that was called wise cracks and pretty sure it was the place he was told to come in for an interview, Naruto makes his way inside. The store was all around normal, a few things like costume props and weird toys.
"Maybe they use those for scenes… or something?" reaching the front counter Naruto asks.
"I'm here for the interview! Ummm, Mr. Espinoza?" no one was answering.
"Might as well check out the store." With our favorite hero looking around until the owner shows up, we turn to two girls entering the mall about now. one had brunette brown hair while the other was a light blonde haired girl. Both were here for a day of hard shopping.
"I've gotten so far behind on my spring shopping! This happens every year!"
"I know right. My whole closet is pink-free and pink is back in again. It's a good thing the mall is opened early on Saturdays." Both girls reach the central area of the mall where the star-shaped fountain is located.
"It's been a while but I'm glad to be back where I belong." Their gazes drift.
"We only have eight hours, come on." As she was moving the brunette haired girl suddenly pulled her back.
"Hey what's wrong?" pointing down both girls see an x-marked spot covered in spit.
"Thanks." As they head their way an unsuspecting forty-year-old man walked over the X and felt a spit drop on his head, thanks to three young boys, a common welcome for the unsuspecting. As the day strolled on the two girls agreed to meet up for a manicure detail after lunch. The other sighing in contempt as she took in the air of materials.
Over near a small bakery called Nice Cinnabuns two other teens were making their way to their own hangout spot. Poking a few cinnamon buns the first of the two teens starts the conversation.
"Ok I know this is only the start of a summer job, but today, I feel like a man ready for the real world." Said the dark blue haired teen.
"Ah yes, nothing says you're more prepared to take on anything that comes your way like the phrase: Do you want to make that meal a super-size sir?" said the purple haired girl.
"There's a difference you know, between working for minimum wage, or begging your parents for an allowance, the job is the easiest and most mature choice to pick."
"Well forgive me if I can't see you taking responsibility for anything bigger than your locker combo." Reaching their spot both teens head for the table that is next to a giant lemon stand.
"It'll all be worth it, see with the chicks it's all about the bling bling." He said sitting alongside another teen reading a book and drinking some coffee.
"You get all your insights from cop shows and music videos, don't you?" the brown haired teen said asking the obvious.
"You do know that before you can even start being a real man, you're going to have to find someone stupid enough to hire you right?"
"Look at me do I look worried?" the boy asked with no sign of nervousness.
"Not really." Pushing him with one finger he falls off the seat.
"Too bad none of you can work at the penalty box with me but they never hire first-timers. I tell you, it was worth all the trouble working here by myself this year, now I know they'll hire me for sure!" said a light brown haired brunette girl.
"I thought you got the job to pay for the damage you did to the team van? How much was the cost again… 180 dollars?"
"Again, how could such an indent cost that much to fix?!"
"Well, you did crash it into the equipment shed remember? The coach was not too happy about that."
"Shut up! The point is I will never have to wear this hideous lemon hat, ever again!"
"Yup, good times making fun of you in that hat. I'm going to miss it."
"It was the only job I could get. It was under sixteen remember?"
"Which again, you should not have driven the team bus."
"Real funny. But at least we'll all be working here together this summer!" a soft laughter is heard where the light brown haired girl turns to see another girl walking to grab a drink.
"Well, this is the first customer, on my last, day!" stopping in front of the register the light blonde puts her shopping bags down.
"Can I help you?"
"A lychee fruit smoothie with an energy blast and, no pulp please." She said as the other girl looked annoyed at the order. This is a lemonade stand.
"We don't serve those kinds of drinks Ms. We only have what's on the menu."
"Oh, then I guess I'll have a lemonade! Do you take credit cards?"
"The drink is only a $1.90" she says as the girl hands her a fifty-dollar bill.
"So that's what a fifty looks like?" said the dark blue haired teen as the purple haired one laughed at his enchantment.
"Hey do any of you know where nice cinnamon buns is?"
"It's right over there but be sure to ask for the ones with a hole in them, they are so much better."
"Thanks." She said not knowing she was fooled by the other.
"Good one."
"Don't I know that girl from somewhere." Asked the moppy brown haired teen.
"She goes to our school but didn't start until grade ten. Now there's a girl who will never know what's it's like to haul ass for a paycheck."
"I hate her already."
"Easy girls, no catfight just yet."
"She's so spoiled! An only child and both her parents are doctors or something I don't know."
"Well, why should she work when she's rich, I wouldn't."
"Anyway, have you all submitted your resumes yet? Stores have started undergoing interviews this week."
"We know jeez."
"We made a pact that we all get jobs here. It's the only way I'll make it through this summer!"
"What are you so nervous about? All you have to do is smile, look good, and remember the customer is always right."
"Do you really believe all of that?"
"Heck no."
At the khaki Barn
"Isn't this girl sized boyfriend sweater the sweetest?"
"It really is." Agreeing with one of the associates the sound of a negative tone is heard as a credit card that was being swiped twice, was not going through.
"Excuse me your credit card has been declined." Said the girl as the one next to her gasped.
"The strip's probably just worn out. Try it again."
"Or you may have reached your limit!" dropping the card the blonde haired girl questions what she meant.
"Credit cards have limits?" questions the girl as this small bit of info was new to her. Looking at her overused card she wonders if that was true, as her merchandise was taken back.
Back at the Big Squeeze
We see another teen riding his way to the lemon on his skateboard. Coming to a stop as the board spins above the air, the teen greets the girl in a rad tone.
"What's happening?" says the skater boy
"Well, it's about time you got here! Can't you ever take anything seriously?!"
"Relax captain I've got my resume done and everything, check it out." Holding a folded paper to her face she sees that it's covered in stains.
"Ew, Jude what's the goop?"
"Last night's dinner, that was a good hot dog." Said Jude remembering the taste.
"You guys had better get out there while it's still early, you're not going to get an interview laying around here all day."
"Relax mom. We're on it."
"And in case you haven't noticed, there's like ten thousand stores in this mall."
"Actually there's nine hundred and thirty-six." Answers Jude as the others we're surprised that he knew how many stores there were in the mall.
"I counted one day when I was bored. I can't handle this on an empty stomach, be back pronto!"
"Fine. But don't blame me if any you get stuck working somewhere lame like the taco stand for the next year."
"Which is what you'll see me resort to after I stick a rusty fork up my nose."
"Hey, they make a mean taco." True statement.
"All I'm saying is that the competition for the cool stores is tough, everyone wants to work at them."
"Don't worry step sis."
"I told you a hundred times not to call me that! need I remind you that our parents are dating and ONLY dating! They're not married ok?!" she says as the phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Masterson." Said a rough loud voice on the other line along with some gibberish.
"Ok sounds good I'll be there." Hanging up the girl identified as Masterson says to the others that her interview has been moved to 2:30 P.M.
"Anyone wants to practice their answers?" she says as a NO was heard from all three at the table.
Back at the Khaki Barn
"Daddy I needed that Vespa to get around. The old one had a flat tire… really they can fix those?"
"Miss if you're not going to buy these clothes I'm going to have to put them back on the floor."
"Give me just a second." She says walking to a display of sweaters as she answers back to her father knowing where she thinks that money comes from.
Big Squeeze
"Well I'm off to my interview, wish me luck."
"Like you'll need it, you're going to kick butt!"
"So where are all of you going to start first?" asks Masterson
"Travel agency."
"The gigantoplex! Free movies!"
"North shore surf and skate, definitely!"
"Grind me."
"Excuse me?" what exactly did he mean by that?
"The coffee house. I like the clientele because they're civilized!" he says out loud to a couple making out.
"Ok then. So you all know what do right?"
"I guess. Hey do you think they'll interview us today?" asks Jude
"Maybe. Why?"
"What if I choke dude?"
"Just remember to be polite and honest! Employers love that!"
"Polite and honest got it! Solid advice"
"Ok let's do this!"
Khaki Barn
"Come on daddy how am I supposed to pay off that bill- oh wait don't put those back, you want me to what?! I have to get a job?!" shocked she wails dramatically as her credit card is cut in half.
"My card! Fine, I can get a job." She says as the girl hanging off a ladder while trying to hang clothes falls to the floor. If she has a job, how hard can it be for her to find one? Don't worry, she's fine.
Wisecracks
Trying on one of the props Naruto is pretty much wondering where the heck the guy who was supposed to be interviewing him is.
"It's been over twenty-six minutes now? where the hell is he?!" if this guy doesn't show up in the next minute or so.
"So you must be the new guy looking for a job here am I right?" taking off the hat Naruto finally sees that his employer has arrived at last.
"Yes! Do you know how long I've been waiting here?!"
"My apologies young man. I was on the other side of the mall taking care of some personal business. But now that I'm here, and you have entertained yourself with the stuff in the store. Let's get this interview underway ok?" prompting Naruto to follow him we now get a good look at how all seven of these teens will do when it comes to entering the workforce.
Penalty Box (Jen's Interview)
Looking over her resume the store manager in a referee's uniform starts with a few questions.
"So tell me why do you want to work here Masterson?!" he says shouting.
"Because I've always wanted to start my own line of snowboarding gear, and I believe that working here will teach me so much about the retail sports industry." She answers.
Grind me (Wyatt's Interview)
"I spend most of my free time here so I figured why not get paid for it?" he says sipping his coffee.
GigantoPlex (Jonesy's Interview)
"Because the gigantoplex is a great place to pick up chicks."
Travel Agency (Nikki's Interview)
"I need the money to go traveling."
Wise Cracks (Naruto's Interview)
"I've always had a knack for making people laugh ever since I was little. And with all the props and publicity I've heard about from you guys, I couldn't pass the moment up."
Random Store (Caitlin's Interview)
Do you guys have an employee discount?"
As the questions started aiming more towards goal achievement or where they would see themselves in a few years, this one question pretty much had an odd answer that came from Jude as everyone else either said they we're not going to continue working in the mall or had no idea.
North Shore surf and Skate (Jude's Interview)
"Rock climbing with some mawory dudes in new-Zealand?"
As for the other interview question's some in the gang answered positively, some negatively. Depending on how you look at it, some of their responses were not at all suitable or had anything to do with the jobs they were applying for. There were even moments when they ignored part of the process and started talking about themselves or other facts. And at the end, there were only a few who managed to get hired to work at the mall.
Everyone else, however, had a different end result. Near the giant lemon, we find the group depressed at how badly their interviews turned out.
"Well, that sucked." The blue haired boy said as the petite blonde haired girl sat across from them at another table with a sundae. a few minutes later the brunette haired girl shows up in a new attire.
"Great news! I got the job! You are all looking at the new assistant customer coach at the penalty box! I start tomorrow!" she said but not everyone was in a good mood to compliment.
"Congrats! At least you're employed."
"Wait? None of you got jobs?" an affirmative nod answered her question.
"But how bad could it have it been? It was just an interview?"
"Do you remember the time that Jonesy dropped my pants in front of the whole girl's soccer team? This was worse."
"All of us were applying for part time jobs. This was like the Danish inquisition."
"Spanish inquisition."
"Whatever dude it sucked!"
"One question that came up: what are my worst qualities? Like they'd ever hire me if I told them."
"I told them mine."
"Really, how many did you give them?"
"Seventeen… oh, man, was I supposed to lie?"
"Guys the right answer would have been, sometimes I work a little too hard?"
"Really now? well, that would have been useful about two hours ago!" as the conversation was going a man who could be no more in his 50s appeared from out of the corner. He looked to be spying on someone. The gang pretty much knew who he was by uniform, as the man made his made his way to them.
"What?!" making hand motions that said 'I'm watching you' he passes them by letting them know.
"We're not doing anything wrong! man, that guy creases me!"
"Seriously, he's got nothing better to do than be suspicious of everyone under thirty. For your information, we work here too!"
"Technically we don't, yet."
"I can't believe it, I'm gonna be stuck working here alone, again."
"Ah man we had our whole summer planned, now we won't be able to see each other."
"Unbelievable. Did you see the guy running stereo shack? Even he has a job, and he carries a lightsaber to work!"
"I guess if there's no other way I'll try making some money on the subway. People do like listening to a good tune before work." Across from them, they heard a soft sniffle from the light blonde girl.
"Aw, didn't have the ruffle skirt in your size?"
"For your information, I was trying to apply for a part time job like you. But I didn't get hired for any one of them."
"Guess all the positions for 'professional shoppers' were taken."
"You're so mean."
"Come on guys, we better try the last places that are still hiring before only the taco stand is left." Said Jonesy
"Now I just have to find someone desperate to take my job. Hey, any of you guys want it? I'll hire you on the spot and no interview!" she said as the others walked away laughing as working in a giant lemon was not until the last resort. As they went their ways, the brunette girl heard a wail of cries. Showing some sympathy, she decided to find out why the girl across from her was crying.
"So why are you looking for a job?"
"My dad freaked when he got the credit card bill this month, so to pay all the money I spent he's making me get a job. And I tried everywhere but no one would take me."
"Oh, I'm sure something will turn up."
"No, you don't understand it was so humiliating. I can't even, shop in some of those stores anymore."
"That bad huh?" she said as the teary girl nods. Blowing her nose she continues her story.
"I was so nervous I even knocked one manager's coffee onto his lap." Ok, it was bad.
"Don't worry you'll find a job." She said trying to cheer her up.
At another part of the mall
After Naruto was told that he got the job through some questionable agreements and past stories, he decided it was time to treat himself to some lunch.
"Where to eat?" mumbling he turns a corner passing three teens who we're looking at a stand called stick it.
"Stick it? Food on a stick?" odd Idea.
"Food on a stick! Guys, I think I've just found the place I was born to work in! But what if I choke on this interview too?"
"Dude stop being such a wuss. You're selling yourself, nothing wrong with a little embellishment."
"You mean lie right?"
"I mean making yourself sound good, they expect you too. If not you're only letting yourself down."
"Are you sure that's the right way? Jen said that the only way to impress an employer is, to be honest, and polite."
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't that been failing you more times in the last few hours?" said the blue haired teen as his friend had no response to that statement.
"Right, I'm going in." May luck be with you dude.
"You got this Jude, be the job man be the job!" pushing Jude straight ahead they could only hope for the best.
"I'm so proud of that kid." Naruto could only raise an eyebrow at the advice the guy gave to his friend.
'Maybe it'll work maybe it won't.' shrugging he kept looking for a place to treat himself so with that going on we head back to the giant lemon where Jennifer Masterson or Jen for short, is looking for the applicants to hire her as the new replacement.
"No, no, ugh! No!" not one of the applicants can be hired for either being too lazy, unappealing, or downright psychotic. Looking at the girl she had conversed with earlier and that she was still upset about not having a job, Jen knew what she was going to do.
"I'm gonna regret this. Listen, if you want a job that bad I guess I could hire you to work at the big squeeze.
"Really? That's awesome!" said the girl as Jen was finding her a spare hat and apron.
"Here's your uniform, you can change in here."
"No, I'm sorry but I'm not wearing that."
"You are if you're going to work here."
"But I'll look like the biggest loser in the mall! No offense." Ignoring the comment the girl really had no other choice if she was going to work here.
"Good, now we can start your training."
"Oh I wish I could but I'm so busy right now. I have to meet my friend in an hour for manicures."
"And how are you going to pay for that manicure?"
"Fine. Where do I start?"
"The first thing to do is get a head start with the cleaning so we can leave early."
"I thought we made juice here? Can't we just pay someone to do this?"
A few minutes in.
"Just a minute sir." Said Jen as she was handling several customers while her new trainee was talking on the phone, oblivious of what she was supposed to be doing. Even a pitcher of lemonade didn't give her the answer as she thought she was being offered some.
"Hey guys." Some friendly faces arrived.
"So how did it go guys?"
"It went great! The guy at stick it made the manager!"
"Get out! How did you do that?!"
"I just told him I ran two shops and he just gave me the job! Jonesy's advice worked!"
"I told ya, always trust the jones maestro."
"Dude!"
"Jude!"
"But Jude, you've never worked in a store before! Can you really handle all the responsibility of safely handling all that food? And all those sticks?"
"Oh man, I'm in trouble bro."
"Uh, that's bra when you're addressing a girl. What about you Romeo? Did you find a job?"
"Yeah, I got a great one at that 50s joint the soda hop?"
"So why the long face?"
"I got fired ten minutes later." Said Jonesy as he heard his name in a down tone.
"Well, how was I supposed to know the hostess was the boss's daughter?"
"On the bright side, that's probably some kind of record."
"Hey yeah, I like her."
"At least you're not in charge of the country music section at spin this music!"
"But you hate country music dude, it's like your mortal enemy." Said Jude
"They always stick the new in country. Some sort of rite of passage like hazing fraternity pledges."
"I'm sure it won't be long until something comes up in the normal music section."
"Glad you could cheer up Nikki, thanks. So did you get a job yet?"
"Yes, but I don't want to talk about it."
"Your first job aren't you excited?"
"I'm bursting with fruit flavor."
"This is so great! Now we can all hang out together!" said Jen as around the corner we see the brunette-haired girl from earlier pass by. Calling out to her from the new girl who was working at the lemon we could hear her calling the name Trish a few times. Said girl was looking around wondering who was calling out to her until she spots her friend from earlier, wearing a lemon hat and apron.
"Oh, no way." Heading to the giant lemon Trisha who is the name of this girl asks if what her shopping friend was wearing was a joke but she responds by saying that it isn't and that she is working here to earn her own money. Not mentioning the real reason was to pay off the debt she accumulated. Though unintentionally she spilled a cup of lemon juice on Trisha's pants during the conversation and even though she was looking around for napkins to clean the mess, her soon to be ex-best friend decided that she couldn't associate with her anymore because of what she was doing, and what she was wearing.
"Sorry Caitlin. But this is one spree I will not be going on with you." Said Trisha as she walked away leaving her ex-friend in heartbreak.
"I, don't understand. How could she do this to me?! She was my, best friend for a whole year!"
"Some friend. What kind of person judges someone by their clothes anyway?" he says as the girl named Caitlin raised her hand in embarrassment.
"Me, but I never did it to a friend. She and I had so much in common like shopping and chocolate."
"There are bigger friends to fry my friend." Said Jude
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up."
"I'm starving! Anyone want ta…cos?" Jude's sentence was interrupted.
"Jude, are you ok man?" waving a hand in front of his face they see he's locked onto something.
"What's he looking at?" asked Jen
"Have I seen people carrying swords before or am I in an action movie I don't know about?"
"Swords?!" asked the purple-haired girl as Jude points to Naruto who is walking across from them heading to wonder taco. And to answer his question yes Naruto is carrying twin swords as he unbuckles the harness attached to the sheaths on both sides. (He carries his swords the way WheelJack from transformers prime does. Separated Vertically from each other, not crisscrossed)
"Hahhhh, that feels better." Gripping both sword sheaths in one hand Naruto catches the scent of ground beef in the air.
"Tacos is it then." Letting out a few kinks he makes his way down as the six teens wondered one question.
"How is he permitted to carry blade arms in Canada?! No civilians have that kind of clearance." Said Jen.
"He's not military that's for sure." Said the purple haired girl.
"And the only reserve base is at least a couple of miles down in sturgeon county." Said the Blue haired teen.
"Do you think there's a reason he's carrying those swords? I'm surprised he hasn't been arrested as that falls in a second-class offense." Said the brown haired teen.
"Let's not worry about that now. I'm hungry! Let's go get tacos!"
"I'm in."
Wonder Taco
"Welcome to wonder taco where tacos are your hunger heroes. Can I take your order?"
"I have an evil hunger brewing inside me!"
"Yes! What kind of food can possibly defeat it?"
"A bird?"
"A plane?"
"NO, it's… wonder tacos!"
"You know I know you guys all make fun of me because I work here."
"What? Oh no no, we love wonder taco."
"Long live wonder taco."
"Two tacos coming right up." Says the counter girl in a fake tone. And as Jude was speaking into the intercom the taco chick was polluting Jude and Jonesy's taco with dust, dirt, and she even spits into them for extra grossness.
"Here you go guys, enjoy." She says as both boys enjoy their tacos not knowing there was a surprise in them.
"Man, it would suck to work there. *crunch* but man they make a good taco."
Only a minute or so behind them Naruto is next to order.
"Rude people giving you a hard time?" He asks the cashier.
"It's not the first time it's been happening."
"What would they know? You work hard even if it is a job that stands out."
"Thanks for the appreciation. What do you want to order?"
"Just two tacos." Nodding she goes to get his food while Naruto looks around the mall. Being in Canada in the section of Alberta was highly unusual.
'I wonder why we decided to move here?' It never really crossed his mind why his folks decided to make the move here. He should find out why as he's been chilling out a little much lately.
"Here you go. Piping hot and crunchy!"
"Thanks." Paying with cash and a smile Naruto heads his way, commenting on how good these tacos were.
Back at the Lemon
The group was lounging around enjoying the time as Jen and her new replacement we're cleaning up the lemon. And it was then that a phone rang, distracting the workflow.
"Didn't we agree that there would be no more calls?" said Jen in frustration.
"Ok, I'll tell them to call back later." said Caitlin but as she grabbed it, it treks away from her and falls into the blender filled with lemon juice, and accidentally presses the shred button. Her cell phone now shredded to pieces, and so is Jen's patience.
"That's it! I am so done with you! Throughout this whole time, you have been distracted, unmotivated, and uninterested in working! You said you needed a job to pay off the money you blew off but you have done nothing to show that you are serious about actually doing it! You have got to be the most irresponsible, clumsy, and spoiled girl I've ever met! This grapefruit has more sense of responsibility than you! At least it knows it's supposed to squished today! I knew I should have hired that weird goth chick!"
"Masterson!" oh no…
"Coach *gulp* what are you, doing here?"
"Quiet on the field! I heard your little temper tantrum! Very disappointed. I thought you were penalty box material, but maybe I was wrong about you." Crossing his arms he makes a firm stand until a voice speaks out.
"No, you weren't. Coach, Jen is the most patience person I've ever met! I have been screwing up royally all day and she's been nothing but nice to me, even when I spilled grape juice on her shoes. Which were actually kind of cute! More importantly, though she's right! I am irresponsible but she's helping me become a better person, you'd be lucky to have her."
"Hmm, alright! You've got yourself another chance! But you better fly straight! Got it!"
"Sir yes sir!" salutes Jen as she looks back at the girl in surprise
"Where did that come from?" asked Jen.
"I don't know, I just didn't want you to lose your job over me."
"That was pretty decent of you." Says the purple haired girl as Caitlin takes off the lemon hat for a moment.
"You are gonna keep her at the squeeze aren't you?" Asks Jude
"Well duh!"
"Wait? You're still giving me the job? Whew, I thought I was so fired!"
"Yeah well, I don't think the hat would fit over that goth chick's hair. And, you're not so bad yourself."
"Welcome to the hood, so what are you doing tonight?"
"NO! off Jonesy, bad boy." Said Jen shooing him away with a towel.
"Oh, this hat is so bad! But at least it will only be for a while until I pay back my dad."
"How much did you spend on his card anyway?"
"Let's see. I guess if I had to sum it up, it would be whatever two vespas cost, and half a spring wardrobe, and two pairs of shoes. Oh, and a bag." That was quite a long receipt.
"You better get used to the hat juice girl. You're going to be here for a while."
A few minutes later.
"Well, I got to go. They want me to start training today. By the way, I can't believe you actually eat at wonder taco, you know that girl hoarks in the food right?"
"You mean, everyone's food?" asked Jonesy as he felt something coming up.
"No, only to the people she doesn't like." She says as Jonesy was about to puke, but Jude is unaffected and finishes his taco.
"So where are you working?"
"Uh, I can't say. It's too awful!"
"Oh this I have to see."
"Definitely." Says Jen closing the lemon.
"What are we doing?" wonders Caitlin as she was being taken somewhere.
"Just follow me."
At the Khaki Barn
Standing right outside the store the girl shudders at the fact that she has to work here if she wants to make money. The gang spot her and Jonesy makes for them to stop as she heads inside.
"Traveling money, traveling money, traveling money." Heading inside she is greeted with the introductory saying from the staff.
"Welcome to the khaki barn team." The crew said, repeating it over and over again.
"No way."
"I don't believe it." Says Jen as the three blonde girls kept saying the chant over and over.
"This is going to be, a long, summer." She says as the gang laughs at her dislike at having to work at the khaki barn. Oh, it was going to be a long summer alright.
Some few feet away we see our favorite blonde throwing away the wrappers from the tacos he ate earlier.
"Glad to have eaten." Smiling he decides that it's pretty much nearing the end of the evening day so he decides to head home. As he walks along a random occurrence happens as a turbine engine seems to have fallen from the sky completely out of nowhere, and its target: Jennifer Masterson. As the group gives their sympathy Caitlin notices that a shadow has covered her and the others. Looking up and thinking it was a cloud passing by she sees that it was something… but why did it look like it was coming closer? As Jen walks to the others Caitlin sees that something was going to fall! A big something! And it was heading down to her new friend!
"Jen get out of the way! The group hears Caitlin yells as the turbine engine breaks through the glass ceiling and Jen looks up in silent fright. The world seemed to have slowed down as the others, even her friend who went into the barn tried running to push her out of the way, as she was almost certainly about to die at that moment… if it wasn't for one teen…
"Hit the deck!" everyone sees that it was the same guy from earlier with the twin swords. What could he possibly do?! They get their question answered as if seeing a close action sequence Naruto un-sheaths his twin swords and in a fast motion invisible to the naked eye, cuts apart the turbine like it was a zesty pumpkin. (Think of toon Link's final smash.)
"Hyaaaa!" slicing away the last piece Naruto lands on the ground with both swords still drawn out, as pieces from the turbine are scattered everywhere. But aside from that, what exactly did they just witness?
"How exactly does a turbine engine fall out of the sky?" says Naruto out loud. Going over to Jen he sheaths his swords, making sure she's alright.
"Are you ok?" he says extending his hand out as Jen was still trying to process all this.
"I-I'm fine. Nothing's broken." She says as Naruto takes her hand and pulls her up to him.
"I'm glad. For a minute there I thought I wasn't going to make it."
"H-How did you do all that?"
"That's a secret." Says Naruto with a wink.
"Dude, that was awesome!" says Jude in awe
"Thanks man! Took me a few months to get that technique down."
"Man, those moves were off the charts! You must be like, a ninja warrior or something!"
"Maybe I am. Names Naruto Namikaze." He says as Jude slaps him a high five.
"Well Naruto, the name's Jude! Jude Lizowski! And these are the rest of my friends!"
"Hey guys!" Naruto waves at the small group
"Man, I owe you one for saving one of our friends. Name's Jonesy Garcia."
"Not a problem bro." replies Naruto with a fist bump.
"So what's been going on?"
"Just wishing out friend luck! She starts working today at the khaki barn! Even I can't believe she would willingly agree to work there." Said Jen as she was still feeling the effect of freezing earlier with what was almost certain death.
"Well, we all can't work at where we want."
"True words there." Said the brown haired teen as their fifth friend rushed to Jen's side, hugging her fiercely.
"Oh my god Jen! I thought you were almost killed by that turbine?"
"I'm ok. It was thanks to Naruto that I didn't flatten like play dough."
"Thanks so much! I saw what you did, and it was amazing!" Naruto blushed at the praise.
"Don't thank me all at once! I was lucky to have made it! But I still don't get how an engine turbine just falls from out of nowhere!" said Naruto as the group couldn't come up with any answers. Looking at the time, Naruto knows he wants to get home.
"Well it was good to meet you all, but I'm gonna head home now. I start tomorrow at my new job too."
"Really, where do you work?" asked Jen
"A comedic store called wise cracks."
"Wisecracks? Isn't that the place where they make parodies of shows and stuff?"
"Yeah that's the one."
"Well catch you around tomorrow dude?"
"Maybe. I'll see if I can find you guys first. Later." What an end to this day. A new job, good tacos, and saving a very pretty girl from certain death, what else could happen? As Naruto exited the mall, said pretty girl Jen, was still thinking over about how that guy saved her life. But what mostly attracted her to him were those beautiful blue eyes.
'His eyes were so beautiful and so blue.' And as Jude was making comments, the day at the mall ends. But this was the start of a whole new regime, of friendships, drama, and love.
Well here is the first chapter of my Naruto/6teen crossover. I wanted to try this for some time, call it curiosity. Anyway, the pairings will only be two people with Naruto. Jen and her sister Courtney. As for Naruto Carrying swords, I'll explain that later. Put your opinions down and anything else. Catch you all on the next one. Later!
